Balance sheet growth was driven partly by acquisitions. Total assets rose to $9.94 billion from $8.50 billion at October 31, 2025, and goodwill increased to $4.36 billion. Total debt rose to $2.54 billion, with the company issuing $550 million of 4.950% senior notes due 2031 and $650 million of 5.400% senior notes due 2036 in July 2026 and using the proceeds to repay revolving credit borrowings.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $815.9 million for the nine months, compared with $638.9 million a year earlier. The filing reports $1,018.2 million of acquisition spending in the nine months, and redeemable noncontrolling interests increased to $617.9 million. Management states that net cash from operations and available credit facility borrowings will be sufficient to fund cash requirements for at least the next twelve months, and it reports that the total debt to shareholders' equity ratio was 50.6%.

Heico 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Jul 16, 2026)
HEICO Corporation closed a $1.2 billion senior notes offering on July 16, 2026, consisting of $550 million of 4.950% Senior Notes due August 1, 2031 and $650 million of 5.400% Senior Notes due August 1, 2036. The underwriting agreement was executed on July 13, 2026, and the notes were sold under the company's automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR. Interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1, beginning February 1, 2027. The notes are direct, unsecured senior obligations ranking equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The company intends to use the net proceeds to pay down borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit agreement, which the press release describes as a $2.2 billion facility. Management stated that this leaves HEICO with substantial ability and flexibility to fund future potential acquisitions. The offering is the company's second issuance of this kind, following its inaugural notes issuance in 2023, and management cited the investment grade ratings on both sets of notes. The indenture includes customary covenants limiting liens to secure indebtedness, sale and leaseback transactions, and certain mergers or asset conveyances, along with a change of control triggering event repurchase provision. Investors should review these terms and the optional redemption provisions described in the indenture, which are incorporated by reference into the filing's exhibits.
Heico 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Jun 17, 2026)
HEICO Corporation entered into a Fourth Amendment to its Revolving Credit Agreement on June 11, 2026, with the Lenders and Truist Bank (as successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as Administrative Agent. The amendment increases the revolving credit facility's capacity from $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion and extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to June 11, 2031. The Lenders also agreed to modify the applicable rate, which will now be calculated based upon the most recently published ratings for the Company's senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money. In addition, each subsidiary that had guaranteed the Obligations prior to June 11, 2026 was released from its guarantee under the Credit Facility. As a result, those subsidiaries were also automatically released from their guarantees of the Company's 5.250% Notes due 2028 and 5.350% Notes due 2031, issued under the Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture dated July 27, 2023. The filing also lists Exhibit 10.1, the Fourth Amendment itself, and Exhibit 104, the Cover Page Interactive Data File. The 8-K was signed by Carlos L. Macau, Jr., Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, on June 17, 2026.

Heico 8-K Report, Shareholder Vote Results (Mar 17, 2026)
HEICO Corporation (HEI) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Friday, March 13, 2026, and this Item 5.07 report discloses the results of three shareholder votes. As of the January 16, 2026 record date, 55,142,805 shares of Common Stock (one vote each) and 84,266,714 shares of Class A Common Stock (1/10th vote each) were outstanding. All nine director nominees were elected to serve until the next annual meeting. Shareholders also approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the executive compensation program and ratified Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026. The director election results show broad support for most nominees, with each receiving well over 50 million 'For' votes except Mark H. Hildebrandt (39,673,122 For, 14,173,077 Against) and Dr. Alan Schriesheim (39,445,974 For, 14,444,232 Against), who drew substantially higher opposition. The advisory say-on-pay proposal received 48,957,609 'For' votes against 4,907,408 'Against' and 68,560 abstentions. The auditor ratification received 56,478,611 'For', 1,437,105 'Against', and 33,624 abstentions. Each proposal is described in the company's definitive proxy statement filed January 30, 2026. For investors, the filing contains no new financial results, guidance, or transactions; its significance lies in governance outcomes, notably the notable opposition to two director nominees and the relatively higher level of dissent on the executive compensation vote versus the auditor ratification.
Heico Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Jan 31, 2026
HEICO Corporation's first quarter of fiscal 2026 (three months ended January 31, 2026) showed net sales of $1,178.6 million, up from $1,030.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, and net income attributable to HEICO of $190.2 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared with $168.0 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, a year earlier. Operating income rose to $259.9 million from $226.8 million, with the Flight Support Group contributing $200.7 million and the Electronic Technologies Group contributing $73.2 million. Consolidated gross profit margin declined to 38.6% from 39.4%, principally due to lower gross margin in the Electronic Technologies Group, while SG&A as a percentage of net sales improved to 16.6% from 17.4%. Net cash provided by operating activities was $178.6 million, down from $203.0 million, mainly due to a $120.3 million increase in net working capital, including a $107.2 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Investing activities used $447.0 million, primarily for the acquisition of Rockmart Fuel Containment, LLC (formerly part of Axillon Aerospace's Fuel Containment Business) for $441.4 million. Total debt rose to $2,507.7 million at January 31, 2026, driven by $443.0 million of revolving credit facility borrowings, and the filing reports a total debt to shareholders' equity ratio of 54.7%. Subsequent to quarter end, in February 2026 the company acquired 100% of EthosEnergy Accessories & Components (Ethos) for a mix of cash and 95,483 shares of Class A Common Stock, and agreed to acquire 80% of another company, with closing expected in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Heico 8-K Report, Financial Results (Feb 25, 2026)
HEICO Corporation reported record first-quarter fiscal 2026 results for the three months ended January 31, 2026, in a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1. Net income attributable to HEICO rose 13% to a record $190.2 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, from $168.0 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, a year earlier. Net sales increased 14% to $1,178.6 million and operating income increased 15% to $259.9 million, with the consolidated operating margin improving to 22.1% from 22.0%. Both periods were favorably affected by discrete tax benefits from stock option exercises, which were $21.8 million, or 15 cents per diluted share, in fiscal 2026 and $26.5 million, or 19 cents per diluted share, in fiscal 2025. Cash flow from operating activities was $178.6 million, down from $203.0 million, which management attributed to a significant distribution under the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan and higher performance-based compensation payments. Leverage increased after an acquisition completed during the quarter: the total debt to net income attributable to HEICO ratio was 3.52x versus 3.14x at October 31, 2025, and the net debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.79x versus 1.60x. Long-term debt rose to $2,504.3 million from $2,164.6 million, and acquisitions, net of cash acquired, totaled $441.4 million in the quarter. Management said it expects continued sales momentum in both segments and strong cash flow from operations for fiscal 2026. By segment, the Flight Support Group grew net sales 15% to $820.0 million, with organic growth of 12%, and operating income rose 21% to $200.7 million. The Electronic Technologies Group grew net sales 12% to $370.7 million, with organic growth of 6%, but its operating income declined to $73.2 million from $76.5 million, and its operating margin fell to 19.8% from 23.1%, reflecting lower gross profit margin from product mix and lower space product sales.

Consolidated operating margin, however, declined to 21.9% in the quarter from 22.8% a year earlier, as the Flight Support Group's margin fell to 23.0% from 25.5%.

Heico Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Jan 31, 2024
HEICO Corporation reported higher first-quarter fiscal 2024 results for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Net sales rose 44% to $896.4 million from $620.9 million, driven by the Flight Support Group (FSG), where net sales increased to a record $618.7 million. The filing attributes $202.0 million of FSG growth to a fiscal 2023 acquisition and cites strong organic growth of 12%. Electronic Technologies Group (ETG) net sales rose 12% to $285.9 million, but the ETG had a 5% organic net sales decline. Operating income increased 39% to $180.2 million, with the FSG reaching a record $136.1 million. Net income attributable to HEICO grew 23% to $114.7 million, or $.82 per diluted share. Gross profit margin was 38.7%, compared with 39.3% a year earlier, and operating income as a percentage of net sales was 20.1%, compared with 20.8%. Interest expense increased to $38.6 million from $6.1 million, mainly due to higher debt from fiscal 2023 acquisitions. Net cash provided by operating activities was $111.7 million, and the company borrowed $50.0 million under its revolving credit facility. Total debt to shareholders' equity was 75.4% as of January 31, 2024. The company remained in compliance with its covenants. Backlog (remaining performance obligations) was $1,444.3 million, of which $952.6 million is expected to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2024. Management continues to anticipate net sales growth in both segments for fiscal 2024, principally from fiscal 2023 acquisitions and product demand.
Heico 8-K Report, Financial Results (Feb 26, 2024)
HEICO Corporation reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 (three months ended January 31, 2024) in a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1. Net sales increased 44% to $896.4 million from $620.9 million, operating income rose 39% to $180.2 million, and net income attributable to HEICO increased 23% to $114.7 million, or $.82 per diluted share, compared with $93.0 million, or $.67 per diluted share, a year earlier. The company stated that net income in both periods was favorably affected by discrete income tax benefits from stock option exercises, which were $13.3 million net of noncontrolling interests in fiscal 2024 versus $6.1 million in fiscal 2023. By segment, the Flight Support Group's net sales rose 67% to a record $618.7 million, with operating income up 63% to $136.1 million, and the company cited 12% organic growth driven mainly by aftermarket replacement parts and repair and overhaul parts and services. The Electronic Technologies Group's net sales increased 12% to $285.9 million, while its operating income declined to $55.3 million from $56.5 million, with operating margin falling to 19.3% from 22.2%, which management attributed to product sales mix, higher new product research and development expenses, and higher SG&A as a percentage of sales. Cash flow from operating activities increased 46% to $111.7 million, and leverage ratios improved: total debt to net income attributable to HEICO was 5.88x (from 6.14x at October 31, 2023) and net debt to EBITDA was 2.79x (from 3.04x). EBITDA for the quarter was $224.4 million, up 43%. Management said it continues to forecast strong operating cash flow for fiscal 2024 and anticipates net sales growth in both segments for the remainder of the year.
Heico Annual Report, Year Ended Oct 31, 2023
HEICO Corporation reported record fiscal 2023 results for the year ended October 31, 2023, with net sales of $2,968.1 million, up 34% from $2,208.3 million in fiscal 2022, and net income attributable to HEICO of $403.6 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, compared with $351.7 million, or $2.55 per diluted share. Operating income rose 26% to a record $625.3 million. The Flight Support Group (FSG) generated $1,770.2 million in net sales, up 41%, with organic growth of 21% driven by continued recovery in commercial air travel, while the Electronic Technologies Group (ETG) generated $1,225.2 million, up 26%, with organic growth of 1%. Growth was also driven by acquisitions, most notably Wencor Group (acquired August 4, 2023, for $1.9 billion in cash plus 1,137,628 Class A shares) and Exxelia International SAS (acquired January 5, 2023). The acquisitions significantly changed the balance sheet and financing profile. Total debt rose to $2,478.1 million at October 31, 2023, from $290.3 million a year earlier, and total debt to total capitalization increased to 44% from 10%. Goodwill grew to $3,274.3 million and intangible assets to $1,357.3 million. Interest expense increased to $73.0 million from $6.4 million, reflecting $1,200 million of senior unsecured notes issued in July 2023 and higher revolver borrowings. Operating cash flow was $448.7 million, and cash and cash equivalents were $171.0 million. The company stated that unused committed availability under its revolving credit facility was approximately $739 million as of December 18, 2023. The filing also discloses several items for investors to monitor: a grand jury subpoena received in April 2021 by an indirect subsidiary, which the company is cooperating with and for which it cannot estimate a range of loss; put rights held by noncontrolling interest holders with an aggregate Redemption Amount of approximately $364.8 million; and a backlog of $1,863 million at October 31, 2023, up from $1,383 million. Management expects net sales growth in both segments in fiscal 2024 and plans to continue integrating Wencor.
Heico 8-K Report, Financial Results (Dec 18, 2023)
HEICO Corporation reported record fourth-quarter and full fiscal 2023 results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, in a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1. Fourth-quarter net sales rose 54% to a record $936.4 million, and operating income rose 29% to a record $189.4 million. Net income attributable to HEICO increased 6% to $103.4 million, or $.74 per diluted share. For the full year, net sales increased 34% to a record $2,968.1 million, operating income increased 26% to a record $625.3 million, and net income attributable to HEICO increased 15% to a record $403.6 million, or $2.91 per diluted share. Results include Wencor and Exxelia acquisition costs, which reduced full-year net income by approximately $21.5 million. The balance sheet and leverage changed significantly during the year. Management stated that the increase in the net debt to EBITDA ratio, to 3.04x from .25x, principally reflects the offering of $1.2 billion in senior unsecured notes and increased revolving credit facility borrowings used to fund the Wencor acquisition purchase price. Total debt was $2,478,078 thousand at October 31, 2023, versus $290,274 thousand a year earlier. Full-year operating cash flow was $448.7 million, and fourth-quarter operating cash flow was $148.4 million, which management said reflected higher inventories to support increased consolidated backlog. Looking ahead, management anticipates net sales growth in both the Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group in fiscal 2024, driven mainly by fiscal 2023 acquisitions and demand. It also flagged continued inflationary pressures that may raise material and labor costs, and noted ongoing integration of Wencor. The Board declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $.10 per share payable in January 2024.
Heico 8-K/A Report, Exhibit Filing (Oct 18, 2023)
HEICO Corporation filed this amendment to its August 10, 2023 Current Report on Form 8-K to supplement the original filing with financial statements of Jazz Parent, Inc., the owner of Wencor Group, and pro forma financial information, as required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b). The underlying transaction closed on August 4, 2023. Wencor is described as a large commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company offering factory-new FAA-approved replacement parts, value-added distribution of high-use aftermarket parts, and aircraft and engine accessory component repair and overhaul services. HEICO paid $1.9 billion in cash, subject to working capital, debt and other customary adjustments, plus 1,137,628 shares of its Class A common stock. The cash was funded with its revolving credit facility and proceeds from $600.0 million of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2028 and $600.0 million of 5.350% Senior Notes due 2033. The pro forma condensed combined statements show HEICO's fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 net sales of $2,208,322 thousand, which become $2,695,852 thousand combined with Wencor's year ended December 31, 2022. Pro forma net income attributable to HEICO for that year is $272,800 thousand, or $1.96 diluted per share, versus HEICO's reported $351,675 thousand. For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, pro forma net sales are $2,513,370 thousand and pro forma net income attributable to HEICO is $268,101 thousand, or $1.92 diluted per share. The pro forma figures are illustrative only and do not reflect integration costs or expected synergies. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and assigns $1,267,612 thousand to goodwill, $378,700 thousand to customer relationships and $113,300 thousand to intellectual property. For investors, the key takeaways are the scale of the acquisition relative to HEICO's balance sheet, the debt-funded portion of the price, and the pro forma dilution to per-share earnings. The filing presents the figures without commentary on their outlook.
Heico Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Jul 31, 2023
HEICO Corporation's third-quarter fiscal 2023 Form 10-Q (quarter ended July 31, 2023) shows continued strong growth. Net sales for the first nine months rose 27% to a record $2,031.7 million, from $1,598.7 million a year earlier. Operating income rose 24% to a record $435.9 million, and net income attributable to HEICO increased 18% to a record $300.2 million, or $2.17 per diluted share. The Flight Support Group (FSG) grew net sales 29% to $1,168.5 million, with organic growth of 21%, reflecting recovery in commercial air travel. The Electronic Technologies Group (ETG) grew net sales 25% to $882.7 million, helped by the January 2023 Exxelia acquisition, while its organic net sales declined 1%, mainly due to lower defense product demand. The balance sheet and financing position changed substantially. Total assets rose to $5.45 billion from $4.10 billion at October 31, 2022, and long-term debt increased to $1.20 billion from $290.3 million. HEICO issued $600 million of 5.25% senior notes due 2028 and $600 million of 5.35% senior notes due 2033 in July 2023, and amended its revolving credit facility to $2.0 billion. Cash and cash equivalents were $694.3 million at July 31, 2023. Interest expense rose to $29.6 million for the nine months from $3.2 million. A significant subsequent event was the August 4, 2023 completion of the Wencor Group acquisition for $1.9 billion in cash plus 1,137,628 shares of Class A Common Stock. The company said the initial purchase accounting was incomplete at filing. The filing also discloses an ongoing grand jury investigation involving a subsidiary's work on Navy vessels, for which management cannot predict the outcome or estimate a possible loss range.
Heico 8-K Report, Financial Results (Aug 28, 2023)
HEICO Corporation reported record net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 (quarter ended July 31, 2023) of $722.9 million, up 27% from $569.5 million a year earlier, with operating income rising 16% to $149.4 million and net income attributable to HEICO increasing 24% to $102.0 million, or $.74 per diluted share. For the first nine months of fiscal 2023, net sales rose 27% to a record $2,031.7 million, operating income increased 24% to a record $435.9 million, and net income attributable to HEICO increased 18% to a record $300.2 million, or $2.17 per diluted share. Consolidated operating margin declined to 20.7% in the quarter from 22.6% a year earlier, and EBITDA rose 18% to $179.8 million in the quarter. The Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group both posted record quarterly net sales, with Flight Support Group sales up 23% and Electronic Technologies Group sales up 33%. The quarter was shaped by the Wencor acquisition, which the company completed in August 2023 for $1.9 billion in cash and approximately 1.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $150 million, or $2.05 billion in aggregate. Acquisition costs related to Wencor reduced third-quarter net income by approximately $3.5 million, or 3 cents per diluted share. Management forecasts pro forma net debt-to-EBITDA of approximately 3:1 immediately after closing, returning to historical levels within roughly one to eighteen months, and expects the deal to be accretive to earnings within the year following closing. Net debt to EBITDA was .75x as of July 31, 2023, up from .25x at October 31, 2022, reflecting $1.2 billion of senior unsecured notes issued in the first nine months to fund the acquisition and repay revolver borrowings. Management continues to expect net sales growth in both segments for the remainder of fiscal 2023 and anticipates strong operating cash flow for the year, while cautioning that inflationary pressures and lingering COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions may raise material and labor costs. Operating cash flow in the third quarter was $145.9 million, compared with $149.2 million a year earlier, reflecting higher inventories to support growing backlog. The company also filed a related press release as Exhibit 99.1 furnished under Item 2.02, which is not deemed filed under the Exchange Act.
Heico 8-K Report, Agreement Terminated (Aug 10, 2023)
HEICO Corporation completed its previously announced acquisition of Jazz Parent, Inc., owner of Wencor Group, on August 4, 2023 under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 15, 2023. Wencor is described as a large commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company offering factory-new FAA-approved aircraft replacement parts, value-added distribution of high-use commercial and military aftermarket parts, and aircraft and engine accessory component repair and overhaul services. Target stockholders received cash consideration of $1.9 billion, subject to working capital, debt and other customary adjustments, plus 1,137,628 shares of HEICO Class A common stock. HEICO funded the cash portion with proceeds from $600 million of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2028 and $600 million of 5.350% Senior Notes due 2033, along with funds available under its revolving credit facility. On August 8, 2023, HEICO terminated the bridge financing commitment letter with Truist Bank and Truist Securities, Inc., because that financing was no longer necessary. In connection with the merger, HEICO entered into a registration rights agreement and filed a Form S-3ASR on August 4, 2023 to register the resale of 1,054,606 Class A shares issued in the merger. The share issuance was made without registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The filing states that financial statements of the acquired business and pro forma financial information will be filed by amendment.
Heico 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Aug 4, 2023)
HEICO Corporation (NYSE: HEI.A and HEI) filed an 8-K on August 4, 2023 to report that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Wencor Group, furnished as Exhibit 99.1. The purchase consideration was $1.9 billion in cash and $150 million in HEICO Class A Common Stock paid at closing, or $2.05 billion in the aggregate. HEICO describes the deal as its largest ever in purchase price, revenues and income acquired, and Wencor has joined its Flight Support Group. Wencor is a commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company offering FAA-approved replacement parts, distribution of aftermarket parts, and accessory repair and overhaul services, with about 1,000 employees in 19 U.S. facilities. HEICO stated that Wencor was estimated to generate approximately $724 million in adjusted proforma revenues and $153 million in EBITDA in calendar year 2023, and that it is currently exceeding those initial expectations. The company expects the acquisition to be accretive to earnings within the year following closing and anticipates estimated tax benefits of about $75 million realized through fiscal year 2038. HEICO expects its net debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio to be below 3:1 after closing, returning to historical levels within roughly one to eighteen months, before considering future acquisitions or other capital deployment. The filing is a notice of a completed transaction; the press release describes management commentary on synergies and growth but does not provide a full financial statement reconciliation. The projected EBITDA and net debt-to-EBITDA figures are non-GAAP measures, and HEICO states it cannot provide a GAAP reconciliation without unreasonable effort.
Heico 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Jul 27, 2023)
On July 27, 2023, HEICO Corporation completed a public offering of $1.2 billion in senior unsecured notes, consisting of $600,000,000 of 5.250% Senior Notes due August 1, 2028 and $600,000,000 of 5.350% Senior Notes due August 1, 2033. The company intends to use the net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price for its acquisition of Wencor Group, including related fees and expenses, with any remaining amounts used for general corporate purposes. HEICO temporarily used part of the proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit agreement. The notes are direct, unsecured senior obligations that rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the company's subsidiaries that guarantee its revolving credit agreement obligations. Interest is payable semi-annually beginning February 1, 2024. The indenture includes customary covenants limiting liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and certain mergers or asset conveyances. A change of control triggering event may require an offer to purchase the notes. A key investor consideration is the special mandatory redemption feature: if the Wencor Acquisition does not close by the earlier of February 14, 2023 (subject to extension) or termination of the merger agreement, the 2033 Notes must be redeemed at 101% of principal plus accrued interest. The accompanying press release states the acquisition is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2023 and that the notes received an investment grade rating. The CFO stated the company plans to reduce leverage to historical norms over the next few years.
Heico 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Jul 24, 2023)
HEICO Corporation (HEI) disclosed in an 8-K filed July 24, 2023 that on July 19, 2023 it entered into an Underwriting Agreement with BofA Securities, Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, for the issuance and sale of $600,000,000 principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2028 and $600,000,000 principal amount of 5.350% Senior Notes due 2033. Certain subsidiaries will guarantee the notes. The Transaction is expected to close on July 27, 2023. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price for its acquisition of Wencor Group, including related fees and expenses, with any remaining amounts used for general corporate purposes. It may also temporarily repay revolving credit borrowings and invest funds not immediately needed in short-term investments, including marketable securities. The filing states that it was made so that certain items related to the Transaction can be incorporated by reference into the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-273297). The underwriting agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, indemnification and termination provisions, and is filed as Exhibit 1.1.
Heico 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Jul 17, 2023)
HEICO Corporation disclosed in this Form 8-K, dated July 17, 2023, that on July 14, 2023 it entered into a Third Amendment to its existing Revolving Credit Agreement with a group of lenders and Truist Bank (as successor by merger to SunTrust Bank) as Administrative Agent. The amendment increases the Lenders' aggregate revolving commitments from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion, extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to July 14, 2028, and raises the applicable rate for certain total leverage ratio tiers in the pricing grid. For investors, the key takeaways are expanded borrowing capacity and a longer maturity profile for the company's revolving credit facility. The higher commitment level gives HEICO an additional $500 million of available revolving borrowing capacity under the agreement as stated in the filing, while the extension moves the maturity out to 2028. The increase in the applicable rate on certain leverage ratio tiers means borrowing costs under the facility rise at those leverage levels. The filing describes the amendment as qualified in its entirety by the copy filed as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated by reference. The report was signed by Carlos L. Macau, Jr., Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
Heico Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Apr 30, 2023
HEICO Corporation's 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 (ended April 30, 2023) shows continued strong growth.

The Flight Support Group reported record net sales of $763.5 million and operating income of $183.5 million for the six months, driven by commercial air travel recovery, while the Electronic Technologies Group grew net sales to $556.8 million, supported by the January 2023 Exxelia acquisition, even as organic sales declined 2% on lower defense demand. The balance sheet expanded significantly during the period. Goodwill rose to $2.03 billion and long-term debt to $735.8 million, largely from the Exxelia acquisition, which was paid in cash of $515.8 million using the revolving credit facility. Interest expense increased to $17.4 million from $1.8 million, principally due to higher interest rates, and the weighted average rate on revolver borrowings was 6.1%. Operating cash flow was $154.4 million, down from $174.8 million, reflecting higher inventories and working capital needs. A subsequent event is the pending acquisition of Wencor Group for $1.9 billion in cash plus 1,137,656 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock, announced May 15, 2023 and expected to close by the end of calendar 2023. The filing states that committed credit facilities, together with cash on hand, are sufficient to fund the purchase price. Closing is subject to regulatory approvals, and HEICO would owe a $143.5 million termination fee under specified circumstances.
Heico 8-K Report, Financial Results (May 22, 2023)

Balance sheet leverage increased substantially during the period. The total debt to shareholders' equity ratio was 26.4% at April 30, 2023, compared with 11.0% at October 31, 2022, and net debt was $627.5 million. Management attributed the rise mainly to financing the January 2023 purchase of Exxelia International. Operating cash flow was $77.8 million in the second quarter, down from $96.8 million a year earlier, reflecting higher inventories to support increased backlog. Management said it continues to forecast strong operating cash flow for fiscal 2023.

Management described it as HEICO's largest-ever acquisition by purchase price, revenues and income acquired, expected to close by the end of calendar 2023, subject to customary conditions including antitrust clearance. Management expects Wencor to be accretive to earnings within a year of closing. The Electronic Technologies Group reported record net sales of $301.8 million, but defense products sales declined, and its operating margin fell to 22.5% from 27.8%.
Heico 8-K Report, Material Agreement (May 18, 2023)

The cash portion is subject to working capital, debt and other customary adjustments, and HEICO will deposit $20 million of the cash into escrow at closing to cover post-closing adjustments.

Under a separate Commitment Letter with Truist Bank, the bridge lender has committed up to $1.5 billion in a senior unsecured bridge facility maturing 364 days after closing. HEICO also engaged Truist Securities to increase its existing credit facility from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and extend its maturity to five years from closing. The company states its committed credit facilities, including the bridge facility, together with cash on hand, are sufficient to fund the purchase price. The filing states that HEICO would be required to pay Wencor's owners a $143.5 million termination fee in cash under specified circumstances, including failure to obtain regulatory approvals. The stock consideration will be issued in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and HEICO will file a registration statement to permit resale of those shares.
Heico 8-K Report, Corporate Update (May 15, 2023)
HEICO Corporation, a Florida corporation, reported on May 15, 2023 that it has agreed to acquire Wencor Group from affiliates of Warburg Pincus LLC and Wencor's management for $1.9 billion in cash plus $150 million in HEICO Class A Common Stock payable at closing, or $2.05 billion in the aggregate. The filing describes the transaction as the largest in HEICO's history by purchase price, revenues and income acquired, with Wencor to become part of the Flight Support Group. Wencor is described as a large commercial and military aircraft aftermarket company offering factory-new FAA-approved replacement parts, value-added parts distribution, and accessory component repair and overhaul services. HEICO anticipates Wencor will generate approximately $724 million in adjusted proforma revenues and $153 million in adjusted proforma EBITDA in calendar year 2023, and expects estimated tax benefits of about $75 million realized through fiscal year 2038. Including those tax benefits and excluding expected synergies, HEICO anticipates an effective purchase price multiple of approximately 12.9 times Wencor's projected proforma adjusted EBITDA. The company expects the deal to be accretive to earnings within the year following closing, and projects its net debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio to be below 3:1 after closing, returning to historical levels within roughly one to eighteen months.

Heico Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Jan 31, 2023
HEICO Corporation's first quarter of fiscal 2023 (three months ended January 31, 2023) shows strong growth. Net sales rose to a record $620.9 million from $490.3 million a year earlier, and operating income increased to $129.4 million from $98.8 million. Net income attributable to HEICO was $93.0 million, or $.67 per diluted share, compared with $86.9 million, or $.63 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The Flight Support Group reported record net sales of $371.3 million and operating income of $83.6 million, driven by recovering commercial air travel, while the Electronic Technologies Group's sales rose to $255.1 million with operating income roughly flat at $56.5 million. The quarter was dominated by the January 5, 2023 acquisition of 93.69% of Exxelia International SAS, paid in cash for $515.8 million (net consideration of $501.5 million after cash acquired), funded by revolving credit facility borrowings. Consequently, long-term debt rose to $781.2 million from $288.6 million, and goodwill increased to $1.99 billion from $1.67 billion. Interest expense increased to $6.1 million from $0.8 million, principally due to higher interest rates, and the weighted average revolver interest rate was 5.5%. Acquisition costs of $5.1 million were recorded in SG&A expenses. Cash flow from operations was $76.7 million, slightly below $78.0 million a year earlier, as working capital absorbed funds, including a $52.0 million increase in inventories. The company reported no material changes to its market risk assessment beyond a hypothetical sensitivity to its Euro-denominated note receivable from Exxelia, and it disclosed a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California relating to a subsidiary's work on Navy vessels, which it says it cannot predict or estimate the outcome of.
Heico 8-K Report, Financial Results (Feb 27, 2023)

Operating income rose 31% to $129.4 million, and the consolidated operating margin improved to 20.8% from 20.2%. Net income increased 7% to $93.0 million, or $.67 per diluted share, though the filing notes a higher effective income tax rate and that prior-year results included a larger discrete tax benefit from stock option exercises ($6.1 million, or $.04 per diluted share, versus $17.5 million, or $.13 per diluted share). Management cited 14% consolidated organic net sales growth, and EBITDA rose 29% to $157.1 million. The balance sheet changed meaningfully during the quarter. The company incurred $5.1 million of acquisition costs related to closing the Exxelia International acquisition in January 2023, which HEICO describes as its largest-ever acquisition by purchase price. Total debt rose to $782.8 million from $290.3 million at October 31, 2022, pushing the total debt to shareholders' equity ratio to 28.5% from 11.0% and the net debt to EBITDA ratio to 1.02x from .25x. Cash flow from operating activities was $76.7 million, compared with $78.0 million a year earlier, reflecting higher inventories to support backlog. Management said it expects strong operating cash flow for fiscal 2023 and continued net sales growth in both segments. By segment, the Flight Support Group's net sales increased 36% to a record $371.3 million and its operating income increased 60% to a record $83.6 million, with a 22.5% operating margin, driven by commercial aerospace demand.
